Second day hair in the form of a very high ponytail. Very high is the only place I can get 95% of it right now, and I actually like how it looks on me. And it was moving day. So no hair-related effort was exerted.

Comments like this (though I know that you meant it as a compliment) are what make me wish I had straight/wavy/smaller hair. I lost count of the big hair jokes when I was about 10, and they still make me cringe/want to wear my hair up and hidden for the rest of my life. There is either something very wrong in my head, or I'm just not meant to be a curly (or a super dense 3c, anyway).

I have to wet my hair every day that I want to wear it down, because that was day 1 of a wash and go. Multiple day hair only exists in my life if I wear it up, partially up, or braided. It's extremely frustrating. And it's never helped that, because I'm white, people make Jew fro jokes. All the damn time. It absolutely kills me.

Sometimes you have to put people in a box, compartmentalize them in your mind. If you let these comments bother you then they win. Truth is, they're most likely jealous of your full, beautiful mane and secretly wish they could get their (thin, plain, balding, nonexistent---insert any other adjective) hair to "do that."
When you're 50 with a head full of hair and those people have visible bald patches or are using hair pieces to make their hair thicker, you'll know what I mean. Girl, white, black or whatever you have gorgeous hair. I love it!
